Workplace amputations are infrequent but constitute some of the most serious workers’ compensation cases. An amputation usually results in high medical bills, time off of work and emotional distress, and it may prevent the injured individual from returning to their previous role. In some cases, you may be able to apply for Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) benefits in addition to workers’ compensation if the accident permanently impairs your ability to work.
